Kerwin Court delivers specialist neuro rehabilitation to adults with an acquired brain injury in a residential setting just outside of Broadbridge Heath. You will be working with a team of rehabilitation support workers alongside a multi-disciplinary team of occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, and speech and language therapists.
We are a passionate and committed team, delivering a high standard of care and rehabilitation. Our Rehabilitation Support Workers and Clinical Team thrive on working together to enable our service users to be as independent as possible and achieve their rehabilitation goals, including supporting our residents to safely access the community.
You will receive training to provide personalised support to our adult residents. You will follow individual support plans to meet the needs and aspirations of each person. The focus is on developing independent living skills: personal hygiene, meal preparation, exercise, leisure activities, and socialising.
You’ll gain immense job satisfaction from seeing the individuals you support do more for themselves and live the life they want. If you’re interested in building a career, we’re here to support you on your own journey.
No prior experience in care or support roles is necessary; just enthusiasm and a passion for helping people. We provide a full induction and specialist training and coaching.
Supporting brain injury rehabilitation is different from other kinds of support work. You’re there to encourage and guide individuals, helping them regain the skills and confidence to live independently.
